Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Private UThis is an interesting film about the praries during the depression. It talks about education, the lonely war bride, and how distant prarie is from ottawa. I think its important for us canadians to see a movie like this because todays politics about the west being ignored is still relevant to us today, talking about saskatchewan and manitoba. and it is a very entertaining film.
User Review - 8/10 by Paula KDramatization of teaching and life on the Prairies during the Depression.
User Review - 8/10 by Neo PA Depression-era Canadian comedy-drama with a potentially dry history lesson vibe, rescued from after-school-specialization by a typically engaging performance from the always likeable Bud Cort.
